“OUT TEMP”
This display shows the outside air tem-
perature from –10 °C to 40 °C in 1 °C
increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the actual out-
side air temperature.
TIP If the outside air temperature falls
below –10 °C, a lower temperature
than –10 °C will not be displayed.
 If the outside air temperature
climbs above 40 °C, a higher tem-
perature than 40 °C will not be dis-
played.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.Odometer an d tripmeter mo des
